Aleah POV

"Open your eyes and look at what he did," I said, my voice cutting through the thick, suffocating mist of the Lycan King's subconscious.

The memory flared to life around us, a blinding flash of ancient light that smelled of old parchment and damp earth. We were standing inside the mind of the King, watching a scene from hundreds of years ago. A woman stood in the centre of a sunlit courtyard. She had honey-blond hair, light freckles dusted across her nose,

  • Fake Bond of the Lycan Lords    Chapter 40

    Adriel POV"Get your hands off her."My voice rips through the dead air of the medical wing.My father does not move. His massive, scarred palm stays pinned flat against Betty’s pale forehead. Beside him, Uncle Jethro keeps his arms crossed, his boots ticking rhythmically against the stone floor. Tap. Tap. Tap. It is the only sound in the room besides the shallow, mechanical rattle of Betty’s breathing."I am trying to save her, Adriel," my father says. His voice is a low, gravelly vibration that grates against my nerves. "Sit down before you break something.""I said, move back."I step forward, my boots skidding on the polished floorboards. My fists curl until my knuckles turn white. For seven days, I have sat in this exact chair. For seven days, I have counted the seconds between her ribcage rising and falling. She is freezing. Her skin has the grey, translucent sheen of a corpse, and the coven’s healing spells a

    Betty POV“Choose now, Betty,” Diane says, her voice slicing through the thick, unnatural silence of the clearing. “Stay here in the clearing forever, or go back to your body. But if you go back, you go back entirely alone. Tola stays here.”My breath hitches. My hands drop to my sides, fingers digging into the damp dirt. “I won’t be a lycan anymore?”“You never were one,” Diane says, her eyes flat and unblinking. She paces forward, her bare feet making no sound on the grass. “Tola was the lycan. Without her, you are nothing but an ordinary human.”A cold weight drops straight into my stomach. An ordinary human. I stare down at my hands, watching them tremble. If I go back like that, Adriel and Mitchell will tear me to pieces. The bond will snap. The sheer pressure of their world will crush me within a week. I cannot su

  • Fake Bond of the Lycan Lords    Chapter 38

    Betty POV"Wake up, you useless human."The voice isn't Tola. It isn't loud, but it slices right through the thick, suffocating blackness pressing down on my chest."Tola?" I scream, but the word catches in my throat. No sound comes out. No echo. Just nothing.A sharp, childlike giggle rattles through the dark. It sounds entirely wrong. Dangerous."Stop laughing," I snap, my mind racing as I claw at the empty space around me. "Show yourself or I swear to God I will find a way to make you regret it.""You cannot even see your own hands, Betty. How do you expect to threaten me?""Who is that?" I demand, my heart hammering against my ribs. "Are you my subconscious playing tricks on me because Tola left?""She did not leave you because you are weak," the voice purrs, shifting closer until it feels like ice against my ear. "And my name is Diane.""Like the Moon Goddess?" I scoff, tryin

    Mitchell POV"You have exactly three seconds to choose, Mitchell," Audrey says.She pulls her collar down. Her skin is pale, smooth, and completely blank."I am not losing her," I say. My chest feels tight, like an iron band is winding around my ribs. "If I lose Betty, I am done.""Then let me take the mark," Audrey whispers. She steps closer. The scent of her is wrong, all chemical sweetness and no dirt, no forest, nothing like the woman who owns my soul. "It is a transfer. A temporary ink. It tricks the bond for forty eight hours, then it fades. Your connection to Betty stays untouched.""And she will forgive me?""She will never even know," Audrey says.I look at the trees. The leaves are moving in the wind, a long, low hiss that sounds exactly like a warning. My brother is screaming in the back of my mind. His voice is

  • Fake Bond of the Lycan Lords    Chapter 36

    Betty POV"Move away from me!"The words rip out of my throat, but they do not sound human. They sound like bones grinding together under a heavy boot.Every single vertebrae in my spine is twisting. It feels like someone is hammering iron rods directly into my lower back, forcing my ribs to crack outward. My skin is too tight. My clothes feel like burning plastic against my flesh. This is not a full shift. Tola is pushing, clawing at the inside of my ribs, but she is stuck half-way.I lift my arm to wipe the sweat from my eyes. My hand is thick, tipped with dark, blunt points that do not belong to me."Betty, sit still," Ian says, his voice cutting through the thick hum in my ears. He steps forward, his palms raised. "Do not force it. Just breathe through the heat."I swing my hand out to push him back, but the moment my knuckles clip his chest, a sickening crack echoes through the trees. Ian flies backward. His boots leave the dirt entirel

  • Fake Bond of the Lycan Lords    Chapter 35

    Betty POV"Wake up, Betty," a voice hisses.The sound scrapes against the inside of my skull. It does not belong to me."Get out of my head," I spit.I slam my hands against my temples. My palms hit slick, cold stone. I am not in the forest anymore. The damp scent of pine and crushed grass is entirely gone, replaced by the suffocating stench of burnt copper and old dust."You think you have a choice?" the voice mockingly laughs.Novalee.The dead witch is a parasitic itch under my skin. The memory pool she forced me into still burns behind my eyes. I saw it all. I saw the way the mate bond forced her into the Lycan King’s bed. I saw her belly swell with his child. I saw the exact moment her obsession with revenge turned her into a monster.She slaughtered her own bloodline. She ripped her own wolf apart just to watch the kingdom bleed."She was blind," I whisper into
